Look who's here......It's Kovu (named after Lora's Daughters Hedgie!). Isn't he adorable and I can tell you, even more so in person! This stamp is called "Kovu's Birthday" and is from the latest release"Party Time" over at High Hopes Stamps.

I'm using a simple layout and fun paper from the Doodlebug Sugar Shoppe 6x6 collection. It's hard to see but the cupcake has Clear Wink of Stella on it and the cupcake liner is paper pieced.

I am sooooo glad we had this Party Time release this month!! I've had a lot of birthday cards send out!
This card was for my neighbours son who turned 11 last Thursday. I just love that my cards don't end up in my card box, but they get an immediate destination, whoohoo..

Well, for today, I made another card with "Yertle Turtle Birthday"
I've stamped the image on the dessinpaper so you can see the straws of the balloons directly on the dessinpaper and I've stamped and coloured the image as usual and then cut out the turtle and the balloons and glued them on the image..

I'm always making treats for my co-workers (yes I like to spoil them!!) so you will be seeing this stamp used in a

yummy project soon. :)

For today I decided to convert the treat wrapper into a Robot card.

Some sewing stitched on a clear acetate sheet along with some fun pattern papers. Sequences and a little shopping in hubby's work room (I will hear about that later :D ) for lots of nuts and bolts. I added a few gears and other metal findings for added interest.

Its a different design for sure, almost like a pocket letter / shaker greeting card lol!!

I can't believe it's almost the end of February already! Spring will be here before we know it!

I hope you have enjoyed all of the Birthday cards we have been sharing with you this month. I have one last Birthday themed card to share with you this week. Meet "Dancing Ellie". How fun is Ellie in her tutu!

I stepped out of my colour comfort zone with this one - I don't usually do many purple/mauve cards but I am happy with how it turned out.

After colouring Ellie with alcohol markers, I cut her out using a classic oval die. A matching cardstock stitched oval die was cut to mount her on. The sentiment was done on my computer, printed out and cut with a fishtail banner die. Some matching twine and gumdrops finish off my card.

Howdy - MichelleO here today and I am still partying! This new Party Time Release is just so much fun! This week I colored up "Charlie Party Cow" ... now who doesn't love a dancing cow with balloons?

I went with a little different color combo on this one. With a card stock from Core'dinations that I sanded to show the turquoise core, then matched up with older My Minds Eye papers that have lots of glitter to them. I inked the edges of the papers with Rangers walnut distress ink and then sewed the layers together. The sentiment is also from High Hopes new release "It's Party Time" I just love that you can color the sentiment's letters to match the image!

My Copic colors used -

Now you just have to pop over to the High Hopes Stamps website HERE and see all the new fun.

I decided to make "Charlie Party Cow" into a shaker card using the Pretty Pink Posh Scalloped Rectangle Frame die. I love the colour combination of black and yellow and the paper from the MME Breeze 6x6 collection suited my theme perfectly! The sentiment is called "Happy Birthday Block". A nice grey ribbon bow finished off my card!

The various sequins all use the black and yellow theme that's going on with this card!
